The Radiator Support Panel is located within the front-end of your vehicle right behind the fender. This component displays a wide metal frame that varies in design depending on your car's model, and it plays a vital role in keeping your car driving properly.
Your Nissan's Radiator Support Panel helps to support and secure many front-end components like the headlights, forward fender, and hood. But the most crucial role your Radiator Support Panel plays is shielding the radiator and keeping it firmly affixed in place. Your radiator, which works to protect against engine failure, overheating, leaks, and more, won't work well without a properly functioning support panel.
So, what causes a Radiator Support Panel to become damaged? Since this part is situated in the front-end of your Nissan, it is most often damaged in frontal collisions or incidents. With time, it can also wear or bend after driving over a hard object or hitting a bump on the road.
An impaired Radiator Support Panel can often go undetected since it's situated under your vehicle's hood. However, over time you might notice leaks, overheating, and radiator damage. To safeguard against these potential issues, inspect your Radiator Support Panel regularly and especially after wreck to prevent any unplanned fixes.
Since your Radiator Support Panel is essential for holding your radiator in place and ensuring that it's working properly, it's best to replace an impaired Radiator Support Panel immediately to maintain reliable engine cooling and powerful operation of your vehicle.
Are you considering installing your Radiator Support Panel on your own? Radiator Support Panel replacement might require the use of specialized tools and you will also need to remove your bumper cover, radiator support tie bar, and possible electrical parts. Because of this, it may be best to leave this work to an expert technician at a local Nissan service center location.
Because different cars operate with certain radiator support panels, purchasing the correct one is crucial for replacement. Get the right fit when you purchase genuine OEM parts at Nissan Parts.
